kartoitetusta

Kartoitetusta is a Finnish grammatical form derived from the verb kartoittaa, meaning to map or chart. It is the elative singular form of the past participle kartoitettu, which functions as an adjective meaning “mapped” or “surveyed.” As an elative participial adjective, kartoitetusta is used to express source or origin in phrases such as “kartoitetusta aineistosta” (from the mapped data/material) or “kartoitetusta alueesta” (from the mapped area). It cannot stand alone as a noun; it modifies a following noun in the elative case.

Examples illustrate its use: “Kartoitetusta tiedosta saatiin lisätietoja.” (Additional information was obtained from the mapped data.) “Kartoitetusta alueesta löytyi useita arkeologisia kohteita.” (Several archaeological sites were found in the mapped area.)

In Finnish usage, this form appears in scientific, environmental, geographical, and cultural heritage contexts where data collection and mapping are central. It signals that the information, findings, or features come from a mapping process rather than from unaided observation. The term is therefore a functional part of Finnish descriptive syntax, helping to connect data sources with the objects or conclusions derived from them.
